I picked up
The American Women's Encyclopedia of Home Decoration while cleaning off a shelf in my room and as I was leafing through the pages before returning it to its place, (yes, this is a necessary step to cleaning a bookshelf) I came across some quaint quotes that also contained wisdom. So although I am nowhere near the stage of owning my own house (that I might decorate it), I thought I might share some principles that can be applied to whatever little piece of floor one might call one's own.
It isn't the money you spend that counts but good assembling of attractive things.
Don't have many small ornaments; they mean work to clean.
It is the idea behind the decorating that counts.
Is there a woman who doesn't want just the right draperies?
A long mirror in a bedroom is a luxury within reach.
Order is the first rule of the closet.
And my favourite:
A place to stretch out in the daytime often saves a "state of nerves".
